[Chorus]
To all my people goin' through it on a daily basis
And it seem like the world is full of cold places
Keep yo' head up, f*ck what they said cause
you can do it and the man will get you through it
I believe that, homey I believe that
If I can picture that, I'll bring a picture back

[Ice Cube]
They say "Gangster, gangster! Tell me how you do it
How you get through it and them other niggas blew it"
I keep my eye on the prize then pursue it
Chase it like a cheetah chuck it out and subdue it
So self-educate, nigga don't hate
Cause the game I got, is Madden oh-eight
F*ck with Cube, I'm better than YouTube
F*ck with them dudes them niggas is new school
The game don't change just the players
The rhymes don't change just the fuckin' rhyme-sayers
They make it up as they go along
But I'm goin' on 25 years strong
The shit I say might get you through the day
Or change your whole life, in a major way
The shit they say, might catch you a case
The shit I say, feel like your birthday

[Chorus]

[Ice Cube]
You know what? Momma said it'd be days like this
Straight hell on earth, but come up out the abyss
She said "Don't let 'em see you crawl, don't let 'em see you fall
All they wanna do is laugh when you tear your drawers"
It's a cold world nigga bring a bomber jacket
If it's another hustle out there I'ma crack it
F*ck the new dance I'ma learn how to eat
Get my mind right, stay up out these fuckin streets
They keep callin' me
They keep callin', all the lil' homies keep fallin'
In them same traps niggas can't figure out
In the fast lane boy but the bridge is out
Make my blood boil, get yo' life spoiled
Get you in the system, get you in the soil
And your funeral was sponsored by Unocal
Saw you UVN, nigga digital

[Chorus]

I know, it's fucked up how they do us
Pretend they really care, but then they Jerry Lewis
Take that money that was allocated to us
Put us in some fucked up trailers then sue us
Watchin' Katrina, is worser than Ike and Tina
See New Orleans get bitch-slapped by FEMA
Louisiana got racist-ass politics
Free the Jena Six (Nigga free the Jena six!)
Your honor, Osama, Obama
Even, yo' momma, ain't fuckin' with my comments
They want us to quit, forget
And not give a shit about these sick-ass politics
A lunatic is in the White House
Make me wanna go do a lick right now
But they'll make a nigga bow down
in the penitentiary, a billion dollar industry

[Chorus]

I believe that, homey I believe that
If I can picture that, I'll bring a picture back
